SOME STREAM WATERS OF THE WESTERN UNITED 

STATES. 



By Herman Stabler. 

[Analyses by chemists of the United States Reclamation Service.] 



INTRODUCTION. 
HISTORY OF THE INVESTIGATIONS. 

A systematic study of the waters likely to be utilized on the Recla- 
mation Service projects was made in order to determine the influence 
of the salinity of the waters on the growth of vegetation and the 
effect of suspended matter in silting canals and reservoirs. 

The work was begun early in 1905, under the direction of Thomas 
H. Means, engineer, and was continued during 1906 and until May, 
1907, under the direction of W. H. Heileman, engineer. The analy- 
ses were made in a laboratory jestablished at quarters provided by 
the University of California at Berkeley, Cal., by C. H. Stone, P. L. 
McCreary, F. M. Eaton, O. J. Hawley, W. C. Riddell, F. T. Berry, 
H. A. Burns, J. H. Hampson, J. A. Pearce, and M. Vaygouny, the 
greater part of the work being that of the first five named. C. H. 
Stone was chemist in charge at the beginning of the investigations 
and is chiefly responsible for the plan of the analytical work and the 
methods of analysis. 

The results of the investigations were prepared for publication 
under instructions from F. H. Newell, Director of the United States 
Reclamation Service, by Herman Stabler, assistant engineer, who 
assembled and checked the analyses, compiled the accompanying 
stream-flow data from records of the United States Geological 
Survey, and computed daily discharge of suspended matter and 
dissolved solids, under the supervision of D. W. Murphy, engineer 
in charge of Washington office engineering. 

COLLECTION OF SAMPLES. 

Samples were collected for an extended period at 55 stations, located 
for the most part at established gaging stations of the United States 
Geological Survey in order that stream-flow data concurrent with the 
analyses might be obtained. 

The general plan of sample collection provided for the taking of 4 
ounces of water each day at each of the regular stations. The point

of collection was selected with a view to obtaining a fair average sam- 
ple of the water flowing in the stream, and occasionally samples were 
taken from different parts of the cross section in order to determine 
any possible local variation in quality of water. The general plan 
could not be followed absolutely, and the records show numerous gaps 
caused by noncollection of samples, loss of samples in transit, or by 
other reasons. 

The results of the work are here presented in alphabetical order by 
stream names and, under the stream names, by station names. The 
following lists classify the stations by drainage basins and by States.

In addition to the analyses of samples taken at these regular 
stations, many analyses were made of samples collected from various 
miscellaneous sources. The results of these miscellaneous analyses 
are tabulated under appropriate headings on pages 141 to 149. 

PLAN OF ANALYTICAL WORK. 

Equal volumes of the individual samples were united to form com- 
posite samples representing the average quality of the water of each 
stream for a week. The weekly samples were analyzed quantitatively 
for total solids, dissolved solids, and the carbonate, bicarbonate, 
and chlorine radicles, and qualitatively for the sulphate radicle. 
Remainders of the weekly composites were combined in sets of four 
representing the collections for a month. The monthly composites 
thus obtained were analyzed quantitatively for dissolved solids and 
the calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium, carbonate, bicar- 
bonate, sulphate, chlorine, and nitrate radicles. The suspended 
matter from the monthly composites for some streams was accumu- 
lated and analyzed. Variations from the regular plan of analytical 
work are shown by the dates of samples in the tables. 

METHODS OF ANALYSIS. 

The analyses are reported in milligrams per liter, a unit which for 
little-mineralized water is practically synonymous with parts per 
million and which was selected because it can more accurately repre- 
sent the high mineral content of such waters as are found in some of 
the western streams. 

Of the weekly composites 50 cubic centimeters was taken and total 
solids were determined by evaporating to dryness on a steam bath, 
drying for one hour at 110° C, cooling in a desiccator, and weighing. 
Solids were estimated on both filtered and unfiltered samples, and the 
difference between the two determinations was tabulated as sus- 
pended matter. Of the monthly composites 200 cubic centimeters 
of filtered water was taken for the dissolved solids determination. 

Great difficulty was experienced in securing clear nitrates for the 
determination of dissolved solids and the radicles because of the great 
quantity of very fine material carried in suspension by many of the 
streams. For the first few months a filter pump was used success- 
fully and then the Shimer method a was adopted, the procedure being 

a Jour. Am. Chem. Soc, Mar., 1905.

about as follows: A Swedish filter paper, beaten to a pulp in a paraffin 
vessel with hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acids and washed, was spread 
on a felt pad placed in the bottom of a long cylindrical glass tube 
tightly fitted to a suction flask. The sample to be filtered was placed 
in the cylindrical tube and suction applied. When sufficient filtrate 
had been obtained the filter was washed with distilled water to prepare 
it for the next sample. 

Carbonate, bicarbonate, and chlorine radicles were in general de- 
termined as follows: Fifty cubic centimeters of the filtered sample 
was placed in a dish, phenolphthalein indicator added, and titration 
made with sodium acid sulphate solution to the end point; methyl 
orange indicator added and titration continued to a second end point; 
potassium chromate indicator added and titration with silver nitrate 
made to a third end point. The titrations with sodium acid sulphate 
furnished data for the calculation of carbonate and bicarbonate 
radicles and the titration with silver nitrate furnished data for the 
calculation of the chlorine radicle. In analyzing some of the more 
concentrated waters less than 50 cubic centimeters of water was used. 

Calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium, and sulphate radicles 
were determined gravimetrically by the methods of Fresenius. In a 
few analyses separation of sodium and potassium was made gravi- 
metrically. The figure representing sodium and potassium together 
was obtained by calculating the weight of their combined chlorides to 
sodium. The result is in reality the amount of sodium plus three- 
fourths the potassium, and is so reported in the tables. Where sodium 
and potassium were separated these bases are reported in terms of per 
cent of (Na + 1K). 

The nitrogen and other determinations of sanitary analyses were 
made in accordance with the standard methods of the American 
Public Health Association. 

Special methods of analysis were used from time to time, and for the 
Colorado at Yuma the methods used by Forbes ° in previous work on 
this stream were adopted. These methods differed from those used 
on other streams as follows : All evaporations were made in porcelain 
instead of silver or platinum, the liquid was measured in a pipette 
instead of a flask, the dissolved solids were determined on the clear 
supernatant liquid after standing several days instead of on a filtered 
portion of the sample, and 100 cubic centimeters was used for the 
solids determinations instead of 50 cubic centimeters. 

ACCURACY OF WORK AND TABLES. 

The partial analyses of weekly composites have been checked as far 
as possible and the qualitative determinations of sulphates and all 
apparently erroneous values have been omitted.

ACCURACY OF WORK AND TABLES. 



11 



As the remainders of the weekly composites used for the monthly 
composites were not united in equal parts or in proportion to stream 
flow, the analytical results may not represent with great accuracy the 
mean quality of the water or the quality of the mean flow. The 
monthly analyses are therefore presented in terms of per cent of dis- 
solved solids, for the percentage composition varies little with changes 
in stream flow. The per cents are not intended to indicate the per- 
centage composition of the dissolved solids but are merely ratios, 
expressed as per cent, of the various radicles to the dissolved solids 
determinations. The actual quantities in milligrams per liter of the 
various radicles may be estimated by applying the tabulated per cents 
to the mean of the dissolved solids results of the weekly analyses for 
any period. In the summary (pp. 139-140) the quantities of radicles 
in milligrams per liter were obtained by such a calculation, the mean 
dissolved solids from the monthly analyses being taken as a basis of 
computation. 

The accuracy of the monthly analyses has been checked by com- 
paring the sum of the radicles with the total solids and the sum of the 
reacting values of the positive radicles with the sum of the reacting 
values of the negative radicles; apparently erroneous results that 
could not be corrected from the original notebooks have been dis- 
carded. In checking by reacting values it was found that most of the 
apparent percentage errors (found by dividing the algebraic sum by 
the arithmetical sum of the reacting values) were less than the value of 

the expression 3 + t, , — , — r^-, which was adopted as the maxi- 

r dissolved solids 

mum allowable error. The word " error" is here applied to appar- 
ent lack of closure in the chemical system of dissolved solids. The 
so-called error may result from undetermined radicles as well as 
from erroneous analytical results. 

The following table shows the maximum error allowed by this 
expression for various amounts of dissolved solids :

Some idea of the accuracy of the individual determinations may be 
gathered by considering the errors inherent in the methods of analysis 
employed. Titrations made in the ordinary way are all likely to be 
in error by 0.05 cubic centimeter of the solution and weighings are 
likely to be wrong by at least 0.5 milligram. 

The following table shows the errors thus likely to be introduced 
into the tabulated analyses for the amounts of water and strengths 
of solutions generally used for the analyses. Errors greater than 
these are, of course, not unlikely through blunders in the analytical 
work, the table showing merely in a general way the minimum 
refinement probable in the work at Berkeley:

Samples of water were collected from Belle Fourche River at a 
county bridge near Belle Fourche, S. Dak., between April 15, 1905, 
and June 23, 1906. A gaging station was established at this bridge 
by the United States Geological Survey May 26, 1903, and was dis- 
continued June 23, 1906. Stream-flow data, including gage heights, 
rating tables, and estimates of discharge, for the station have been 
published by the Survey in the following reports :

18 SOME STREAM WATERS OF THE WESTERN UNITED STATES. 

BELLE FOURCHE RIVER AT DIVERSION DAM NEAR BELLE 

FOURCHE, S. DAK. 

Samples of water were collected from Belle Fourche River at the 
diversion dam of the United States Reclamation Service near Belle 
Fourche, S. Dak., between July 27 and November 13, 1906. A 
gaging station was established by the United States Geological 
Survey May 10, 1906, below the diversion dam and inlet canal of 
Belle Fourche project, United States Reclamation Service. Stream- 
flow data, including gage heights and estimates of discharge, for 
that point have been published by the Survey in the following report : 

Water-Supply Paper 208, pp. 129-131. 

Data from_July, 1903, to June, 1906, may be obtained by adding 
discharge for Belle Fourche and Redwater rivers at Belle Fourche. 
See the folio wing reports: 

Annual Reports United States Reclamation Service: 3, pp. 488-489; 4, p. 325. 
Water-Supply Papers: 99, pp. 57-60; 130, pp. 169-175; 172, pp. 156-161; 208, 
pp. 128-129, 131-132.

BOISE RIVER NEAR BOISE, IDAHO. 

Samples of water were collected from Boise River at Highland, 
near Boise, Idaho, between May 26, 1905, and April 30, 1907. A 
gaging station was established by the United States Geological Survey 
9 miles above Boise December 15, 1894, and was removed to High- 
land, 8 miles upstream, in 1905. Stream-flow data, including gage 
heights, rating tables, and estimates of discharge, for those points 
have been published by the Survey in the following reports : a

a Approximate. 

b From June, 1907, to March, 1908, the estimated flow of the river has been increased by 30 second-feet as a 
correction for the power-canal diversion. After the latter date the correction has been the measured flow 
of the canal. 



COLORADO RIVER NEAR YUMA, ARIZ. 

Samples of water were collected from Colorado River at the rail- 
road bridge near Yuma, Ariz., between January 1 and December 
30, 1905. A gaging station was established at the. bridge by the 
Southern Pacific Company during the summer of 1876, and records 
of river height have been maintained since April 1, 1878. Stream- 
flow data, including gage heights, rating tables, and estimates of dis-

ELM FORK OF RED RIVER NEAR MANGUM, OKLA. 

Samples of water were collected from Elm Fork of Red River at a 
highway bridge near Mangum, Okla., between April 13, 1905, and

FEATHER RIVER NEAR OROVILLE, CAL. 

Samples of water were collected from Feather River near Oroville, 
CaL, between June 25, 1905, and February 14, 1907. A gaging sta- 
tion was established near Oroville by the United States Geological 
Survey January 1, 1902. Stream-flow data, including gage heights, 
rating tables, and estimates of discharge, for this station have been 
published by the Survey in the following reports : 

Water-Supply Papers: 66, p. 167; 81, pp. 85-87; 85, pp. 133-135; 100, pp. 
272-274; 134, pp. 137-140; 177, pp. 155-158; 213, pp. 120-121; 251, pp. 
199-202. 

Additional information in regard to the quality of the water of 
Feather River is contained in Water-Supply Paper 237, " Quality of 
California surface waters," pages 36-38.

GILA RIVER NEAR SAN CARLOS, ARIZ. 

Samples of water were collected from Gila River near San Carlos, 
Ariz., between April 9, 1905, and January 20, 1906. A gaging station 
was established near San Carlos by the United States Geological 
Survey July 11, 1899, and was discontinued December 31, 1905. 
Stream-flow data, including gage heights, rating tables, and estimates 
of discharge, for that point have been published by the Survey in 
the following reports: 

Annual Reports: 21, IV, p. 332; 22, IV, pp. 397-398.

GRAND RIVER NEAR PALISADE, COLO. 

Samples of water were collected from Grand River at a highway 
bridge near Palisade, Colo., from March 15, 1905, to May 5, 1906. A 
gaging station was established near Palisade by the United States 
Geological Survey April 9, 1902. Stream-flow data, including gage 
heights, rating tables, and estimates of discharge, for the station have 
been published by the Survey in the following reports : 

Annual Reports: 19, IV, p. 401; 20, IV, pp. 378-389. 

Water-Supply Papers: 85, pp. 46-48; 100, pp. 87-89; 133, pp. 142-144; 175, 
pp. 84-86; 211, pp. 74-75; 249, pp. 105-107. 

Monthly discharge estimates for Grand River at Grand Junction, 
Colo., 12 miles below Palisade said below the headings of canals in 
the Grand Valley have been published as follows: 

Annual Reports: 19, IV, p. 401; 20, IV, pp. 378, 389; 21, IV, p. 281. 
Water-Supply Papers: 74, pp. 130-131.

MALHEUR RIVER NEAR VALE, OREG. 

Samples of water were collected from Malheur Kiver at a highway 
bridge near Vale, Oreg., from March 26 to December 4, 1905. A 
gaging station was established at the bridge by the United States 
Geological Survey May 20, 1903, and gagings had been made at 
intervals since 1890. Stream-flow data, including gage heights, 
rating tables, and estimates of discharge, for the station have been 
published by the Survey in the following reports: 

Annual Reports: 11, II, pp. 88, 106; 12, II, pp. 344, 358, 361; 13, III, pp. 98-99; 

18, IV, pp. 348-350; 20, IV, p. 62. 
Bulletins: 92, p. 140; 131, p. 68; 140, pp. 242-243. 
Water-Supply Papers: 11, p. 83; 16, p. 169; 100, pp. 424-427; 135, pp. 206-208;

OWENS RIVER NEAR ROUND VALLEY, CAL. 

Samples of water were collected from Owens River at a footbridge 
near Round Valley, Cal., from May 13, 1906, to April 27, 1907. A 
gaging station was established by the United States Geological Sur- 
vey near Round Valley August 3, 1903. Stream-flow data, including 
gage heights, rating tables, and estimates of discharge, for the gaging 
station have been published by the Survey in the following reports: 

Water-Supply Papers: 100, pp. 206-207; 134, pp. 200-203; 177, pp. 50-52; 213, 
pp. 35-37; 251, pp. 53-55. 

Additional information in regard to the quality of the water of 
Owens River near Round Valley is contained in Water-Supply Paper 
237, "Quality of California surface waters," pages 118-119.

OWENS RIVER NEAR TINEMAHA, CAL. 

Samples of water were collected from Owens River at the intake 
of the proposed Los Angeles aqueduct near Tinemaha, Cal., from 
November 6, 1906, to April 14, 1907. A gaging station was estab- 
lished near Tinemaha by the United States Geological Survey Sep- 
tember 20, 1906, and measurements of the stream at this point were 
made previous to that date by the city of Los Angeles. Stream-flow 
data, including gage heights, rating tables, and estimates of discharge, 
for the gaging station have been published by the Survey in the fol- 
lowing reports: 

Water-Supply Papers: 213, pp. 38-39; 251, pp. 56-58. 

Additional information in regard to the quality of the water of 
Owens River near Tinemaha is contained in Water-Supply Paper 
237, "Quality of California surface waters," pages 120-121.

PECOS RIVER NEAR DAYTON, N. MEX. 

Samples of water were collected from Pecos River below Penasco 
River near Dayton, N. Mex., from July 20, 1905, to April 20, 1907. 
A gaging station was established by the United States Geological 
Survey near Dayton March 24, 1905. Stream-flow data, including 
gage heights, rating tables, and estimates of discharge, for the gaging 
station have been published by the Survey in the following reports: 
Water-Supply Papers: 174, pp. 99-101; 210, pp. 83-85; 248, pp. 119-122.

PECOS RIVER NEAR SANTA ROSA, N. MEX. 

Samples of water were collected from Pecos River at a railroad 
bridge near Santa Rosa, N. Mex., between July 7, 1905, to December 
29, 1906. A gaging station was established at the bridge by the 
United States Geological Survey May 5, 1903, and discontinued 
December 31, 1906. Stream-flow data, including gage heights and 
estimates of discharge, for the gaging station have been published 
by the Survey in the following reports: 

Water-Supply Papers: 99, pp. 363-365; 132, pp. 97-98; 174, pp. 93-94; 210, pp. 
78-79.

PIT RIVER NEAR BIEBER, CAL. 

Samples of water were collected from Pit River at Muck Valley, 
near Bieber, Cal., from July 7, 1905, to March 2, 1907. A gaging 
station was established by the United States Geological Survey at 
Muck Valley January 22, 1904, and was discontinued October 1, 1908. 
Stream-flow data, including gage heights, rating tables, and estimates 
of discharge, for the gaging station have been published by the Survey 
in the following reports : 

Water-Supply Papers: 134, pp. 134-137; 177, pp. 136-139; 213, pp. 104-105;

RIO GRANDE NEAR EL PASO, TEX. 

Samples of water were collected from Rio Grande at Courchesne, 
near El Paso, Tex., from June 8, 1905, to April 30, 1907. A gaging 
station was established May 1, 1897, by the United States Geological 
Survey at Courchesne, 1 mile above the old station. Stream-flow 
data, including gage heights, rating tables, and estimates of discharge, 
for the station have been published by the Survey in the following 
reports : a

SACRAMENTO RIVER NEAR RED BLUFF, CAL. 

Samples of water were collected from Sacramento River at Iron 
Canyon, near Red Bluff, CaL, from July 3, 1905, to March 23, 1907. 
A gaging station was established by the United States Geological 
Survey at Jellys Ferry, 12 miles above Red Bluff, April 30, 1895, and 
moved to a point in Iron Canyon, 4 miles above Red Bluff, in 1902. 
The drainage area at the upper point is 9,130 square miles and at the 
lower point 9,300 square miles. Stream-flow data, including gage 
heights, rating tables, and estimates of discharge, for the station 
have been published by the Survey in the following reports: 

Annual Reports: 18, IV, pp. 365-369; 19, IV, pp. 509-510; 20, IV, pp. 63, 527; 

21, IV, pp. 446-447; 22, IV, p. 462. 
Bulletin: 140, pp. 250-252, 254.

SACRAMENTO RIVER AT SACRAMENTO, CAL, 

Samples of water were collected from Sacramento River at Sacra- 
mento, Cal., from May 29 to December 29, 1905. A gaging station 
is maintained on the Sacramento River at Sacramento, and daily 
gage heights are published by the United States Weather Bureau . 
United States Geological Survey Water-Supply Paper 134, pages 
146 and 147, contains daily gage heights and turbidity for 1904, 
and Water-Supply Paper 177, page 131, contains gage heights for 
the first half of 1905. The monthly discharge of Sacramento River 
at Collinsvilie, Cal. (about one-quarter greater than the discharge 
at Sacramento), from 1878 to 1884 is contained in Water-Supply 
Paper 81, pjjges 188-190. 

Additional information in regard to the quality of the water of 
Sacramento River at Sacramento is contained in Water-Supply 
Paper 237, "Quality of California surface waters," pages 30-32.

SOME STREAM WATERS OF THE WESTERN UNITED STATES. Ill 
SALMON CREEK NEAR MALOTT, WASH. 

Samples of water were collected from Salmon Creek at the Jones 
house, near Malott, Wash., from May 23, 1905, to January 13, 1906. 
A gaging station was established by the United States Geological 
Survey near Malott, April 11, 1903. Stream-flow data, including 
gage heights, rating tables, and estimates of discharge, for the station 
have been published by the Survey in the following reports : ° 

Water Supply Papers: 100, pp. 389-392; 135, pp. 63-65; 178, pp. 32-34; 214, 
p. 33; 252, pp. 122-124.

SALT RIVER NEAR ROOSEVELT, ARIZ. 

Samples of water were collected from Salt River at a dam site 
near Roosevelt, Ariz., from April 9, 1905, to April 23, 1906. A 
gaging station was established by the United States Geological 
Survey on Salt River at the reservoir site February 7, 1901, and was 
discontinued December 9, 1907. Stream-flow data, including gage 
heights, rating tables, and estimates of discharge, for the station 
have been published by the Survey in the following reports : a

SAN FRANCISCO RIVER NEAR ALMA, N. MEX. 

Samples of water were collected from San Francisco River near 
Alma, N. Mex., from April 14, 1905, to April 22, 1906. A gaging 
station was established by the United States Geological Survey near 
Alma, October 18, 1904, and was discontinued December 31, 1907. 
Stream-flow data, including gage heights and estimates of discharge, 
for the station have been published by the Survey in the following 
reports : 

Water-Supply Papers: 133, pp. 206-208; 175, pp. 166-170; 211, pp. 125-128; 
249, pp. 177-180.

Samples of water were collected from Stony Creek at the Julian 
ranch, near Fruto, Cal., from September 14, 1905, to January 13, 1906. 
A gaging station was established near Fruto by the United States 
Geological Survey January 30, 1901. Stream-flow % data, including 
gage heights, rating tables, and estimates of discharge, for the station 
have been published by the Survey in the following reports :

TRTTCKEE RIVER NEAR DERBY, NEV. 

Samples of water were collected from Truckee Kiver at the Recla- 
mation Service diversion dam near Derby, Nev., from April 10, 1906, 
to March 13, 1907. A gaging station was established by the United 
States Geological Survey at Vista, Nev., August 18, 1899, and was 
moved to Derby, Nev., about 15 miles downstream, in 1907. The 
drainage area is 1,520 square miles at Vista. The flow is practically 
the same at both points. Stream-flow data, including gage heights,

134 SOME STREAM WATERS OF THE WESTERN UNITED STATES. 
YELLOWSTONE RIVER NEAR BILLINGS, MONT. 

Samples of water were collected from Yellowstone River at a 
county bridge near Billings, Mont., from May 20 to November 24, 

1905. A gaging station was established by the United States Geo- 
logical Survey near Billings May 29, 1904, and was discontinued 
December 31, 1905. A station was established at Junction May 10, 

1906, and was discontinued December 31, 1907; and a station was 
then established at Huntley, Mont., January 1, 1907. The flow at 
the three stations is approximately the same. Stream-flow data, 
including gage heights, rating tables, and estimates of discharge, for 
these stations have been published by the Survey in the following 
reports : 

Water.Supply Papers: 130, pp. 120-122; 172, pp. 95-97; 208, pp. 88-90; 246, 
pp. 144-148.

YELLOWSTONE RIVER NEAR GLENDIVE, MONT. 

Samples of water were collected from Yellowstone River at a high- 
way bridge near Glendive, Mont., from March 28, 1905, to April 21, 
1906. A gaging station was established near Glendive in 1893, and 
gage heights recorded by the United States Weather Bureau. The 
records of the United States Geological Survey begin August 1, 1903. 
Stream-flow data, including gage heights, rating tables, and esti- 
mates of discharge for the station have been published by the Sur- 
vey in the following reports : 

Water-Supply Papers: 99, pp. 91-97; 130, pp. 123-126; 172, pp. 97-100; 208, 
pp. 90-92; 246, pp. 149-150.

YUBA RIVER NEAR SMART SVILLE, CAL. 

Samples of water were collected from Yuba River at the narrows 
near Smartsville, Cal., from July 7 to September 7, 1905. A gaging 
station was established by the United States Geological Survey near 
Smartsville, June 2, 1903. Stream-flow data, including gage heights, 
rating tables, and estimates of discharge, for the station have, been 
published by the Survey in the following reports: 

Annual Report 22, IV, p. 463. 

Water-Supply Papers: 51, pp. 452-453; 85, p. 157; 100, pp. 270-272; 134, pp. 
140-143; 177, pp. 160-164; 213, pp. 141-143; 251, pp. 213-216. 

Additional information in regard to the quality of the water of 
Yuba River is contained in Water-Supply Paper 237, "Quality of 
California surface waters, 7 ' pages 38-41. 

Partial analyses, gage heights, and rates of discharge of water and solids for Yuba River at

150 SOME STREAM WATERS OP THE WESTERN UNITED STATES. 

ANALYSES OF SUSPENDED MATTER. 

Colorado River and the Rio Grande carry more matter in suspen- 
sion than do most other streams in the United States. The nature of 
this suspended matter and its fertilizing value are of special interest. 
Analyses of the mineral matter carried by these two streams were 
made at various times in 1905. The results of plant food analyses; 
by the method of the Association of Official Agricultural Chemists, 
and the ultimate composition of the suspended matter obtained by 
the fusion method are presented in the following tables : 

Analyses of suspended matter in water from Colorado River and the Rio Grande in 1905.

SEDIMENT CARRIED BY THE RIO GRANDE. 



By Herman Stabler. 



BASIC DATA. 

The following study of the sediment carried by the Rio Grande is 
based on (1) measurements made at San Marcial, N. Mex., by the 
International Boundary Commission and published by the United 
States Geological Survey; and (2) determinations of silt, by weight, 
made for the Reclamation Service in the laboratory at Berkeley, Cal., 
under the direction of T. H. Means and W. H. Heileman. 

The stream measurements and computations of flow were made in 
accordance with the usual methods for shifting channels, and reliable 
results are available for the 12 years beginning with 1897. The 
analytical results were developed from determinations, by the indirect 
method, of the weight of suspended matter in samples collected for 
N the most part twice a week from the Rio Grande at San Marcial, 
N. Mex., from May 28, 1905, to April 27, 1906. 

TABULATED ESTIMATES. 

In Table 1 are presented the daily discharge of water, in acre-feet 
(obtained by multiplying the published discharge in second-feet by 
2); the actual individual determinations of per cent, by weight, of 
suspended matter; estimates of the per cent, by volume, of sediment 
for each day (made from the basic data on the assumption that 85 
pounds of suspended matter will make a cubic foot of sediment); 
and estimates of the daily discharge, in acre-feet, of sediment.

SEDIMENT CAEEIED BY THE RIO GRANDE. 



This table indicates that, though the usual rule of variation of 
per cent of sediment directly with discharge may hold for a few 
consecutive days, when the results for a long period are considered 
the stage of the river and the proportion of sediment exhibit no 
constant relation. This is readily accounted for by the influence of 
different tributaries, the abnormal effects of storms in the arid 
catchment area, and particularly by the influence of the Rio Puerco, 
which at times carries into the Rio Grande at low stage a flood of 
heavily silt-laden waters. Certain seasonal variations of the sedi- 
ment-to-water ratio are noticeable, but they are not sufficiently well 
denned to be expressed in any simple mathematical law. 

Monthly summaries of water and sediment discharged and of the 
sediment-water ratio are given in Table 2.

ratio in per cent for the Rio Grande at San Marcial, New Mexico.

Ratio per cent . . 0. 445 

Mean of all sediment determinations (0.853 by weight) do .626 

Although many of the eccentricities of the daily results are 
smoothed out in the monthly summaries, there still seems to be no 
relation between discharge of water and sediment that should be 
taken for general application. For the entire period of two years the 
mean sediment-to-water ratio, by volume, is 0.445 per cent. It is 
believed that this ratio may be applied to the annual discharge in 
finding the quantity of sediment for any year, with errors due to 
variation of sediment-water ratio as follows: 

Discharge 1,000,000 acre-feet or greater, error not to exceed 50 per cent. 
Discharge less than 1,000,000 acre-feet, error not to exceed 100 per cent. 

The difference between the ratios 0.445 and 0.626 shown at the 
bottom of Table 2 affords an excellent illustration of the great errors 
that are likely to occur in estimates based on the product of mean 
values for discharge and sediment rather than on the mean of 
products of discharge and sediment, 



THEORETICAL EXTENSION OF ESTIMATES. 



161 



During the period for which records are available nearly 80 per 
cent of the discharge has occurred in years when the flow was more 
than 960,000 acre-feet. It is therefore stated with a considerable 
degree of assurance that the use of the ratio 0.445 per cent intro- 
duces an error for the period much less than 50 per cent and that an 
allowance of 50 per cent will cover all errors of observations, assump- 
tions, and meager data. The mean annual flow of the Rio Grande at 
San Marcial for 12 years beginning with 1897 is 1,138,377 acre-feet 
(see Table 5, p. 162). Using the above-mentioned ratio, the mean 
annual sediment discharge for the same period would be 5,070 acre- 
feet. It is interesting to note that a calculation from the mean of the 
sediment observations would give results about 40 per cent greater. 

THEORETICAL EXTENSION OF ESTIMATES. 

The discharge of water and the sediment-to-water ratio for various 
yearly periods within the two years covered by sediment observations 
are presented in Table 3. A marked tendency toward decrease of 
ratio with increase of water discharge is evident. By plotting these 
values and drawing a straight line through the points it was found 
that all the ratios scaled from the graph were within 9 per cent of 
those in Table 3, whereas the mean ratio, 0.445 per cent, varies nearly 
25 per cent from one of the ratios in Table 3. A considerable increase 
in accuracy would therefore seem to be secured by use of the graph. 

Table 3. — Annual discharge of tvater and sediment in acre-feet and sediment-water ratio 
in per cent for the Bio Grande at San Marcial, New Mexico.

SEDIMENT CARRIED BY THE RIO GRANDE. 



Table 4 presents the ratios scaled from the graph corresponding 
to various values for annual discharge. This table covers about 80 
per cent of the recorded annual discharge and is apparently correct 
within 10 per cent for individual years. The data do not warrant 
extension of the graph to include low-flow years, but it is interesting 
to note that an extension as a straight line would give a ratio of 0.76 
per cent for a discharge of 200,000 acre-feet, which is the minimum 
recorded annual flow. 

Based on Table 4 is the following estimate of the annual discharge 
of sediment for 12 years, shown in Table 5.

<i Ratio 0. 8 per cent used. 

For comparison, the sediment as calculated from the ratio 0.445 per 
cent is also shown. In obtaining the values in column 3 for discharges 
not included in Table 4, the single ratio 0.8 per cent has been used. 
This ratio seems to be a fair one for the low-flow years and is doubtless 
not more than 50 per cent in error. Inasmuch as it affects but 20 
per cent of the entire flow for the 12 years, this ratio can not introduce 
an error of more than about 10 per cent in the mean annual sediment 
discharge for the period — 6,110 acre-feet. It is believed that this 
mean, which corresponds to a mean annual sediment-to-water ratio 
of 0.536 per cent, is within 25 per cent of the actual for any long term 
of years after allowing for all errors. 



ACCURACY OF DATA AND ESTIMATES. 

The mean monthly values for discharge of water are probably not 
in error by more than 10 or 15 per cent. The sediment determina- 
tions are probably equally accurate. The chief opportunity for error 



ACCURACY OF DATA AND ESTIMATES. 163 

is owing to the fact that the samples used for sediment determinations 
do not include material rolled along the bottom of the stream and 
that a single sample will not represent the true mean condition for 
the entire cross section. Data on the error so introduced are meager, 
but the preponderance of evidence indicates that it is not more than 
10 per cent. Opinions have frequently been expressed placing the 
error as high as 50 per cent, but observations available do not support 
them. The errors of observation, both on stream gaging and sediment 
determinations, are likely to offset one another, except for the omis- 
sion of material rolled along the bottom of the stream. There seems 
to be reason therefore to believe that the monthly averages of the silt 
carried and of the water-to-sediment ratio are likely to be correct 
within 10 or 15 per cent. The yearly results and those for the entire 
period of 2 years may reasonably be expected to be still more 
accurate. 

The error in assuming that the conditions for 2 years may be 
applied to those of 12 years, and that those of 12 years may be applied 
to hundreds of years is problematical. The mean annual flow for 
the 12 years differs by a maximum of about 33 per cent from the 
mean of any 6 years for which flow records are available, but by less 
than 26 per cent from the mean of any 8 years and by less than 11 
per cent from the mean of any 9 years. Successions of low-flow 
years and series of high-flow years are included and it is to be expected 
that the cycle of changes in flow is fairly complete. In a catchment 
area so large and subject to normal arid conditions there is always, 
however, the possibility of abnormal conditions for a few years over- 
throwing even long-term averages. 

The assumption that 85 pounds of suspended matter will produce 
a cubic foot of sediment may introduce an error. When newly 
deposited as little as 50 pounds of sediment may occupy a cubic foot 
of space. At the other extreme it may require 120 pounds of com- 
pact dry earth to make a cubic foot. The value 85 pounds to the 
cubic foot may therefore be in error in individual cases by as much 
as 40 per cent. When sediment is compacted through a long term 
of years and is subject to alternate wet and dry conditions, however, 
the limits of weight and volume are greatly reduced. The value 85 
pounds to the cubic foot supposes voids of 48 per cent and a weight 
of wet sediment of • 115 pounds to the cubic foot. It corresponds to 
the commonly accepted value for weight of mud and dredged mate- 
rial and is probably not more than 15 per cent in error for long-term 
sediment deposits in any large reservoir in the United States.

164 SEDIMENT CAREIED BY THE RIO GRANDE. 

ROCK MATTER, SOIL, AND SEDIMENT. 

In the foregoing discussion 6,110 acre-feet was estimated as the 
probable mean annual discharge of sediment for the Rio Grande for 
any long term of years. This estimate relates particularly to reser- 
voir filling capacity, being based on the assumption that 85 pounds 
of suspended matter will occupy a cubic foot of space. However, if 
reduced to the state of rock matter, about 165 pounds would be 
required to fill a cubic foot; if reduced to the state of soil matter, 
about 100 pounds would be required; and if expanded to the state of 
freshly-deposited sediment, only about 60 pounds would be required. 
The probable mean annual discharge for a long term of years may 
therefore be variously expressed as representing 11,300,000 tons of sus- 
pended matter, 3,150 acre-feet of rock matter, 5,200 acre-feet of soil, 
6,110 acre-feet of compacted sediment, or 8,650 acre-feet of freshly 
deposited sediment. 



THE INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION OF WATER ANALYSES/ 



By Herman Stabler. 



Recent practice among water analysts tends toward the state- 
ment of analyses in ionic form, in parts per million, and the abolition 
of the statement in grains per gallon of mineral salts supposed to be 
present. The interpretation of the analysis can be made from either 
form of statement without great difficulty. The newer form, although 
admittedly better in many respects than the old, is, nevertheless, 
comparatively unfamiliar to many, and its interpretation is conse- 
quently somewhat obscure. Herewith are presented a few simple 
calculations and formulas which will assist in clearing up this obscur- 
ity and enable one not well grounded in chemical nomenclature to 
interpret and compare analyses expressed in ionic form, in parts per 
million, and to classify waters for industrial purposes. The calcula- 
tions and formulas presented relate to the soap consuming power of 
water, to water softening, and to the interpretation of analyses 
with respect to the use of water in boilers and for irrigation, and 
may be readily enlarged in scope to include all industrial water 
problems. 

THE ANALYSIS. 

A mineral analysis of waters such as are ordinarily used for indus- 
trial purposes includes four classes of water impurities — suspended 
matter, colloidal matter, dissolved solids, and dissolved gases. 

Suspended matter includes all organic or inorganic matter that 
can be removed by filtering. It is of a complex nature and consists 
of many chemical compounds which are not usually determined in 
detail. Two determinations relating to suspended matter are often 
made. The first is turbidity (Tu), the figures for which indicate the 
number of parts per. million of a known standard suspended matter 
that will be just as cloudy or obscure just as much light as the water 
under consideration. The second is suspended matter (Sm) and 
represents the actual weight of the suspended matter in the water. 
If the particles in suspension are very fine, a comparatively small 

a Revision of an article printed in the Engineering News, vol. 60, p. 355, 1908. 

165 



166 THE INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION OF WATER ANALYSES. 

weight will produce a high turbidity. The ratio of turbidity to sus- 
pended matter, therefore, is a measure of the average weight or size 
of the particles in suspension. This ratio is called the coefficient of 
fineness (Fi). 

(1 ) Fl = Sni 
The greater the value of this coefficient the greater will be the aver- 
age weight of the suspended particles, and hence the greater will be 
the ease with which they can be removed. . 

Colloidal matter includes, for the most part, silica (Si0 2 ), alumina 
(Al 2 3 ), and iron oxide (Fe 2 3 ), though in polluted waters and in 
some normal waters a considerable amount of organic matter may 
be present in the colloidal state. • This material is present in a state 
intermediate between suspension and true solution. In the mineral 
analysis it is not distinguished as such; but the three mineral com- 
ponents above mentioned are determined separately, as though pres- 
ent in solution. There is always some doubt as to whether the sili- 
con, aluminum, and iron are actually present as oxides in the colloi- 
dal state or as radicles in true solution. Silicon is rarely, if ever 
present in true solution; aluminum forms a part of the system of 
dissolved solids only in acid waters; and iron is in true solution 
chiefly in ground waters, and then only in small quantity except in 
acid waters. In this article the iron and aluminum are included 
both in the dissolved and colloidal matter in order that both possi- 
ble occurrences may be covered; but the silicon, because of its very 
rare occurrence in appreciable quantity in any other form, is included 
only under the head of colloidal matter. As stated later, the indi- 
vidual analysis may indicate definitely the state of these substances; 
but it is a safe rule to consider them as being present in the colloidal 
state. The term "colloidal matter," as here used, means the oxides 
of silicon, iron, and aluminum and will be designated Cm. 

Dissolved gases (Dg) are not determined in many analyses. Oxy- 
gen (O), nitrogen (N), and carbon dioxide (C0 2 ) are generally pres- 
ent in water, and hydrogen sulphide (H 2 S) and a few other gases are 
not unusual. Of these carbon dioxide is most important industrially 
and will alone be considered, expressed in parts per million. 

Dissolved solids (Ds), as here used, refers to the mineral solids 
actually dissolved in the water. The usual determinations included 
under this term are iron (Fe), aluminum (Al), calcium (Ca), mag- 
nesium (Mg), sodium (Na), potassium (K), acidity (H), carbonate 
radicle (C0 3 ), bicarbonate radicle (HC0 3 ), sulphate radicle (S0 4 ), 
chlorine (CI), and nitrate radicle (N0 3 ). Acidity is variously reported 
as hydrochloric acid (HCl), sulphuric acid (H 2 SOj, calcium carbon- 
ate (CaC0 3 ), and hydrogen (H). It is here expressed as hydrogen

H= .0276 HC1= .0206 H 2 S0 4 = .0202 CaC0 3 . 

The first seven of these are called positive radicles and the remaining 
five negative radicles. Taken together the twelve constitute a chem- 
ical system of positive and negative radicles (which may or may not 
be in actual combination), each of which has the power to react with 
or hold in the system a definite weight of radicles of the opposite sign. 
This power will be designated the u reaction coefficient" (r) of that 
radicle. The reaction coefficient may be defined as the ratio of the 
capacity for reaction to the weight of a chemical substance, and 
therefore represents the capacity for reaction of a unit weight of 
the substance. It is measured in more commonly used terms by the 
ratio of the valence to the atomic weight of the radicle.

If the number of parts per million of each radicle found by analysis 
be multiplied by its reaction coefficient, a number will be obtained 
which may be called the "reacting value" of the radicle for that 
analysis. This will be designated by the letter r prefixed to the sym- 
bol of the radicle. Thus, rCa will represent the reacting value of 
the calcium in any analysis. The symbols of the radicles are used 
in this paper merely as abbreviations. 

The use of the reaction coefficients and reacting values a is of great 
assistance in an attempt to evaluate the effect of mineral impurities 
on the industrial uses of water. For example, the accuracy of the 
determinations of an analysis may readily be estimated from the 
reacting values of the radicles, for in the chemical system which they 
form the sum of the reacting values of positive radicles must be

into general use, though it has been used and recommended by prominent German chemists for many years.

equal to the sum of the reacting values of the negative radicles. The 
percentage error due to inaccurate analysis, undetermined radicles, 
etc., may be found from the formula: 

(3) e =100 rp ~ rn 
rp + rn 

in which e = percentage error, rp = sum of reacting values of positive 
radicles, and rn = sum of reacting values of negative radicles. In 
this calculation iron and aluminum should be omitted, the assumption 
being that these substances are present as colloidal oxides. Usually, 
with fairly careful work, e will not exceed 5 in numerical value for 
waters containing 100 or more parts per million of dissolved solids, 
and may generally be expected to be 2 or less. A value of e in excess 
of 5 will indicate: (1) A blunder in analysis or calculation; (2) if nega- 
tive, the presence of iron, aluminum, or some undetermined positive 
radicle; or (3) if positive, the presence of silicate or some undeter- 
mined negative radicle. Individual judgment must decide which of 
these causes of error is the most probable and reject the analysis or 
correct the form of statement in accordance with the magnitude and 
character of the error and the relative abundance of the radicles 
likely to be involved. The correction of an analysis in this manner 
is generally an unreliable makeshift if the error is large, but can 
occasionally be made with a high degree of probability.

impurities are summarized below:

SOAP-CONSUMING POWER. 

Whipple a has deduced from a series of experiments the cost of 
consumption of the common household soaps by waters of various 
degrees of hardness. Iron, aluminum, calcium, magnesium, and

WATER SOFTENING. 169 

hydrogen radicles in solution are the soap-consuming constituents of 
water. Therefore, accepting Whipple's values, the cost in cents per 
1,000 gallons for soap necessary to produce a lather in water is as 
follows : 

(4) Soap cost 

= 11+ 50.05 (rFe + rAl + rCa + rMg + rH) 

= 11 + 1.79 Fe + 5.54 Al + 2. 5 Ca + 4.11 Mg + 49.6 H. 

WATER SOFTENING. 

Hard water has such a deleterious effect in most industries that the 
practice of "softening" the water before use has become prevalent 
in regions where soft waters are not obtainable. The principal so- 
called hardening constituents are calcium and magnesium, and by 
reason of their cheapness lime and soda ash are the chemicals cus- 
tomarily used in the softening process. The lime is introduced as 
the hydroxide, Ca(OH) 2 , and the soda ash as Na 2 C0 3 . By the soda- 
lime method of softening, the hydrogen is changed to water; calcium, 
magnesium, iron, and aluminum are removed as precipitates; the 
bicarbonate radicle and carbon dioxide are changed to carbonate 
radicle and water; and part or all of the carbonate radicle removed 
as a precipitate. The calcium added as Ca(OH) 2 , as well as that 
already in the water, is precipitated as calcium carbonate (CaC0 3 ). 
The sodium added as Na 2 C0 3 remains in solution, taking the place of 
bases precipitated or otherwise removed from the chemical system. 
The reactions that apparently take place are: 

Fe + 20H = Fe(OH) 2 , which falls as a precipitate. 

A1 + 30H = A1(0H) 3 , which falls as a precipitate. 

Mg + 20H = Mg(OH) 2 , which falls as a precipitate. 

Ca + C0 3 = CaC0 3 , which falls as a precipitate. 

H + OH = H 2 0. 

HC0 3 + OH = C0 3 + H 2 0. 

C0 2 + 20H = C0 3 + H 2 0. 

From the foregoing reactions, it appears that lime must be added 
in quantity sufficient to provide hydroxyl (OH) to combine with the 
iron, aluminum, magnesium, bicarbonate, and hydrogen radicles and 
carbon dioxide. In addition, if the carbonate radicle in the water 
plus that formed by change of bicarbonate radicle and carbon dioxide 
is not sufficient to precipitate the calcium present in the water, and 
added as lime, an additional quantity must be provided by the addi- 
tion of soda ash in order that all the calcium may be precipitated. 
This latter consideration determines the amount of soda ash to be 
added. In terms of pounds of 90 per cent lime (CaO) and 95 per 



170 THE INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION OF WATER ANALYSES. 

cent soda ash (Na 2 C0 3 ) per 1,000 gallons of water, these statements 
may be expressed in the following formulas : 

(5) Lime required 

= 0.26 (rFe + rAl + rMg + rH + rHC0 3 + .0454 C0 2 ) 

= .00931 Fe + .0288 Al + .0214 Mg + .258 H + .00426 HC0 3 + .0118 C0 2 . 

(6) Soda ash required a 

= 0.465 (rFe + rAl + rCa + rMg + rH - rC0 3 - rHC0 3 ) 
= .0167 Fe + .0515 A1 + .0232 Ca + .0382 Mg + .462 H-.0155 C0 3 - 
.00763 HC0 3 . 
Assuming the average cost of lime to be 0.3 cents and of soda ash 
to be 1.2 cents per pound, the cost in cents per 1,000 gallons of 
chemicals for softening a water can readily be determined from 
formulas (5) and (6), as follows: 

(7) Cost of chemicals for softening 

= .636 (rFe + rAl + rMg + rH) + .558 (rCa-rC0 3 ) + .00354 C0 2 - 

.48 rHC0 3 
= .0228 Fe + .0704 Al + . 0522 Mg + . 631 H + .0279 Ca + . 00354 C0 2 - 
.0186 C0 3 -. 00787 HC0 3 . 

A negative value for formula (6) shows that no soda ash is required. 
In such case, instead of using formula (7), take .3 the value of 
formula (5) for cost of chemicals. Formulas (4), (5), (6), and (7) 
may usually be simplified for practical use by the omission of iron, 
aluminum, and hydrogen, for they are not often present in sufficient 
quantity to affect the results. Total incrustants in parts per million 
(as determined by the standard method of the American Public 
Health Association) multiplied by .0093 will be practically equal to 
the value of formula (6). 

Similar formulas can readily be deduced for use in connection with 
water softening by other chemicals, but their practical application 
would be small. In connection with the water-softening problems, 
it should be remembered that the reactions quoted above and the 
resulting precipitation will vary in completeness with conditions of 
temperature, mixing, sedimentation, etc. Furthermore, the pre- 
cipitates formed are not wholly insoluble. In a water softened under 
ideal conditions there may remain in solution 5.2 parts per million 
of calcium and 3.4 parts per million of magnesium, together with 
equivalent amounts of negative radicles. These figures may be 

a The use of soda ash in water softening results in an increase of the highly soluble constituents, for the 
sodium thus added remains in solution. In some industrial uses of water a great increase in content of 
sodium is accompanied by very undesirable results; and if the water contains a large amount of the. sul- 
phate radicle, barium carbonate (BaCOs) may be substituted for all or a part of the soda ash to advantage. 
In such waters the minimum amount of soda ash to be used is, in pounds per 1,000 gallons, .0131 C1+ 
.0075 NO3— .0202 Na— .0119 K. A negative value for this expression shows that the barium compound may 
be used for all of the soda ash required by formula (6), and if the expression be positive its value should 
be subtracted from the value of formula (6) to find the amount of soda ash for which barium carbonate 
may be Used. In the substitution, 1.77 pounds of barium carbonate must be used in place of each pound 
of soda ash and the cost will be increased by 2.7 cents for each pound of soda ash replaoed. 



BOILER WATEES. 171 

increased by the presence of other substances. On the other hand, 
a very large percentage of colloidal and suspended matter will be 
carried down with the precipitates, thus increasing the value of the 
softening process. 

BOILER WATERS. 

The chief industrial use of water is steam making. The cost of 
softening water is a fairly reliable index to its value for this and 
many other industrial purposes. The cost for softening is the sum 
of two figures — cost for lime and cost for soda ash, the former being 
about one-fourth the latter. In a general way, the amount of lime 
required varies with the amount of least objectionable impurities, 
while the amount of soda ash required varies with the quantity ©f 
impurities most deleterious in character. If, therefore, the ill effects 
of the latter class may be assumed as four times those of the former, 
the relative cost of chemicals for softening waters will represent their 
relative objectionableness with a fair degree of accuracy. 

The customary method of interpreting the value of a water for 
boiler use is based on its tendency to cause foaming, corrosion, and 
incrustation. Such interpretation is usually made from the hypo- 
thetical combination of the radicles as salts, judgment of the tenden- 
cies of these salts being made in accordance with our knowledge or 
theories of boiler physics. Unfortunately our knowledge is rather 
restricted though our theories are numerous. It follows that the 
interpretation can not always be expressed in very definite terms and 
if so expressed is liable to error. 

FOAMING AND PRIMING. 

Foaming and priming are probably the least understood of boiler 
phenomena. Priming may be denned as an ebullition so violent that 
water in the form of spray is carried from the boiler before its separa- 
tion from the steam can take place. It is controlled by the relations 
of heating surface, evaporation surface, circulation, and working load, 
all of which are factors of the violence and rapidity of ebullition, and 
by such features as dash plates, water space, and steam space, all of 
which affect the possibility of violently boiling water reaching the 
steam exit. Priming, as thus denned, is a matter of boiler design 
and operation. 

Foaming is the formation of bubbles upon and above the surface 
of the water. The less easily these bubbles break the higher will the 
foam rise. It may become so excessive that the bubbles, or films 
of water inclosing steam, pass out with the steam. 

Naturally priming, or a tendency to prime, is an important factor 
in excessive foaming. Aside from this, the difficulty with which the 



172 THE INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION OF WATER ANALYSES. 

steam pushes through the surface film of water and separates from it 
is a controlling agency. With little 4 mineralized water foaming is 
very slight and never sufficient to cause the loss of water with steam 
in a well designed boiler. Nearly all impurities dissolved or sus- 
pended in water increase the foaming tendency, though no two sub- 
stances may do so to the same degree. As steam is used from the 
boiler' the impurities are concentrated and finally a stage is reached 
which will cause excessive foaming. If, therefore, the quantity of 
impurities and the effect of each were known, the calculation of the 
foaming tendency of a water would be a simple matter. Unfortu- 
nately, our knowledge of this department of boiler physics is very 
slight. It is practically impossible to determine the quantity of sus- 
pended matter in a boiler at any time. Suspended matter originally 
present in the water is largely precipitated, while additional suspended 
matter is derived from loosened scale and from the precipitation of 
impurities in solution in the feed water. Organic matter holds a 
similar indefinite place in connection with foaming calculations 
because a large but unknown proportion is precipitated. It is, how- 
ever, usually present in relatively small amount in boiler waters. - 
Although both these classes of substances are undoubtedly important, 
the effect of precipitated magnesium being especially noteworthy, 
their role in inducing foaming can not, therefore, be calculated from 
an analysis of boiler feed water. For this reason and because all 
other dissolved substances are relatively insignificant in amount in a 
highly concentrated boiler water it is generally customary to attribute 
foaming to sodium and potassium salts. These substances are highly 
soluble and their relative importance in different waters is easily 
determined from analyses. The expression 2.7Na +2K will represent 
these salts generally within 5 per cent and always within 15 per cent. 
It will correspond very closely to the " nonincrusting solids" usually 
estimated from hypothetical combinations and is sufficiently accurate 
for practical use. Since these compounds are at best a rough approxi- 
mation of the foaming tendency of a water, nothing would be gained 
by the use of a more cumbersome expression from which they could 
be more accurately estimated. The following formula may, there- 
fore, be adopted: 

(8) Foaming coefficient f = 62rNa + 78rK = 2.7Na+2K. 

It is to be hoped that investigation may lead to a better under- 
standing of this phenomenon and hence to a more reliable index to 
the foaming tendency of waters. 

The steam engineer is interested more in the number of hours his 
boiler may be run under ordinary load without danger of foaming 



BOILER WATERS. 173 

than in the coefficient given above. This is really a combined index 
of priming and foaming and may be calculated from the formula: 

a c 
(8a) Run in hours: Rh = -r- (^p— 1), 

in which a = water capacity of boiler, b = hourly quantity of feed 
water used, f = foaming coefficient, and c is a constant which repre- 
sents in parts per million the concentration of salts that will cause 
excessive foaming in the type of boiler under consideration. 

The usual remedy for foaming is blowing off a portion of the highly 
impure water and replacing it with fresh feed water. If a in the fore- 
going formula be made to represent the amount of water blown off at 
any "time, the expression will indicate the length of time that may 
with safety elapse before blowing off again. 

The following approximate values have been determined for the 
constant c for various types of boilers and are here adapted from 
Christie's " Boiler waters." 

Locomotive boiler 2, 500 to 3,500 

Stirling boiler 4, 000 to 5,000 

Modern water-tube boiler (such as the Babcock & Wilcox or Heine) . . 5, 000 to 7, 000 

Horizontal return tubular boiler 8, 000 to 10, 000 

Old-style two-flue boiler 17, 000 

From these figures it appears that the locomotive boiler is the type 
most likely to give trouble on account of foaming and offers, there- 
fore, a satisfactory basis for an arbitrary classification of waters 
according to their foaming tendency. A nonfoaming water may be 
defined as one that can be used in a locomotive boiler throughout one 
week's work without foaming; a semifoaming water as one that 
can not be used so long as a week, but one that will require one com- 
plete water change to avoid foaming in a locomotive boiler not oftener 
than every two days; and a foaming water as one that can not be 
used so long as two days in a locomotive boiler without blowing off or 
changing water to prevent foaming. Accepting these conditions, the 
following approximate classification of waters will result: 

(1) Nonfoaming; f not greater than 60. 

(2) Semifoaming; f greater than 60, but not greater than 200. 

(3) Foaming; f greater than 200. 

CORROSION. 

Corrosion of a metal will occur in the presence of water if the metal 
is capable of replacing any positive radicle in the chemical system 
which the dissolved matter in the water constitutes. The radicle 
thus replaced may pass from solution as a precipitate or a gas. In 
boiler corrosion the metal to be considered is the iron of the boiler. 
The radicle which it may replace in the chemical system of dissolved 
solids is hydrogen, which, when so replaced leaves the chemical system 



174 THE INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION OF WATER ANALYSES. 

as hydrogen gas. It follows that the amount of hydrogen radicle in 
the chemical system under boiler conditions is the controlling factor 
of corrosion. The calculation of this factor can be made with a fair 
degree of accuracy. Under boiler conditions the dissolved gases are 
driven out with the steam. Therefore, although some of these sub- 
stances are prominent corrosive agents when confined they are 
omitted from consideration here. 

Hydrogen radicle as determined by analysis is the first item. It 
maybe the cause of corrosion in the cold or under boiler conditions. 
To this may be added, as a result of the high temperature in a boiler, 
three molecules of hydrogen for each molecule of aluminum, two of 
hydrogen for one of iron, and two of hydrogen for one of magnesium. 
The reactions involved may be represented by the following equations : 

2A1 + 3H 2 = A1 2 3 + 6H 

Fe + H 2 = FeO +2H 

Mg + H 2 =MgO +2H 

These reactions probably do not occur in just this way, but they 
express well-known results. There are other reactions that may 
cause an increase in the amount of hydrogen radicle. While they 
will not be considered in the calculations which follow, the three given 
below are of interest as expressing possibilities : 

2Fe + 3H 2 = Fe 2 3 + 6H 

3Fe + 4H 2 = Fe 3 4 + 8H 

Si0 2 + H 2 = Si0 3 +2H 

In all of these equations, except the last, the hydrogen is repre- 
sented as being brought into the chemical system to replace a radicle 
precipitated as an oxide. In the last equation, hydrogen and silicate 
radicles are both brought into the system. In all cases, of course, 
the equilibrium between positive and negative radicles in the system 
must be maintained. 

Opposed to these reactions increasing the amount of hydrogen are 
others tending to decrease it. Thus under boiler conditions each 
molecule of carbonate radicle may combine with two molecules of 
hydrogen and each molecule of bicarbonate radicle with one molecule 
of hydrogen to form water and the gas carbon dioxide. This is illus- 
trated by the following equations: 

H + HC0 3 = H 2 + C0 2 
2H + C0 3 =H 2 + C0 2 

Thus positive and negative radicles leave the chemical system 
together. 

The carbon dioxide so formed will pass off with the steam. 



BOILER WATERS. 175 

The two sets of phenomena may be combined to represent the 
residual hydrogen likely to be replaced in the chemical system by 
iron from the boiler, as follows : 

(9) Coefficient of corrosion: 

c = 1 .008 (rH + rAl + rFe + rMg - rC0 3 - rHC0 3 ) 

= H + .1116 A1 + .0361 Fe + .0828 Mg-.0336 CO 3 -.0165 HC0 3 

One of the first occurrences in a boiler is the precipitation of at least 
a part of the carbonate and bicarbonate radicles as calcium carbonate. 
Such precipitate can be acted upon, the calcium being returned to the 
chemical system to replace the hydrogen which forms water and car- 
bon dioxide with the carbonate radicle. The extent of such action is 
not well defined. With a maximum precipitation of calcium car- 
bonate and a minimum action upon the same, the effect of the car- 
bonate and bicarbonate radicles in the above formula may be reduced 
by 1.008 rCa or .0503 Ca. The foregoing considerations afford an 
excellent basis for the classification of waters according to their cor- 
rosive tendencies. Three classes may be distinguished as follows : 

(1) Corrosive. If c be positive, the water will certainly corrode 
the boiler. 

(2) Noncorrosive. If c + .0503Ca be negative, no corrosion will 
occur on account of the mineral constituents in the water. 

(3) Semicorrosiye. If c be negative, but C + .0503 Ca be positive, 
corrosion may or may not occur, the probability of corrosive action 
varying directly with the value of the expression c+ .0503 Ca. 

SCALE FORMATION. 

The formation of scale and sludge in boilers is the most common 
effect of the use of impure feed water. This phenomenon is the result 
of heating the water to a high temperature and concentrating it. 
The heat reduces the solubility of many of the dissolved substances 
to such an extent that they leave the chemical system. Concentration 
may gradually increase the amount of dissolved matter to saturation, 
after which additional concentration will cause it to pass out of solu- 
tion. Suspended matter and colloidal matter are also largely depos- 
ited within the boiler. 

The purest of natural waters, if used in a boiler for a great length 
of time without cleaning, would produce scale or sludge. As boilers 
are usually operated, temperatures and concentrations are permitted 
which result in the precipitation of practically all suspended and col- 
loidal matter — all iron, aluminum, magnesium, and all calcium to the 
full extent of its ability to combine with carbonate, bicarbonate, and 
sulphate radicles. The iron, aluminum, and magnesium appear in the 
scale as oxides (magnesium carbonate may be present, but is not 
likely to be found in quantity in scale from high-pressure boilers), 



176 THE INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION OF WATER ANALYSES. 

while the calcium may be present as calcium carbonate or calcium 
sulphate (a hydrated calcium sulphate frequently occurs, but in the 
modern high-pressure boiler its quantity is sufficiently small to be 
neglected). Whether these results are caused by .a series of reactions 
or by a single chemical change is of little moment in connection with 
boiler calculations. The following reactions, therefore, are pre- 
sented not as formulas for the changes which actually take place, 
but as equations which express the known results of changes that 
occur within the boiler: 

2A1 + 3H 2 = A1 2 3 + 6H 

Fe + H 2 = FeO + 2H 

Mg + H 2 = MgO + 2H 

Ca + C0 3 = CaC0 3 

Ca + 2HC0 3 = CaC0 3 + H 2 + C0 2 

Ca + S0 4 = CaS0 4 

H + HC0 3 = H 2 + C0 2 

2H + C0 3 = H 2 + C0 2 

The hydrogen in the last two equations may include not only the 
hydrogen radicle found by analysis, but also that developed by the 
first three equations. In other words, it is c, the coefficient of cor- 
rosion. An estimate of the amount of scale formed is necessarily 
rather uncertain. The first three reactions may, without great error, 
be assumed to be practically complete. The division of carbonate 
and bicarbonate radicles between calcium and hydrogen, and the 
division of the calcium between carbonate and sulphate radicles, are 
not definitely known and probably vary with different conditions of 
boiler operation. On this account it would seem desirable to esti- 
mate maximum and minimum values for scale formed by calcium 
compounds. Formulas were prepared with this in view, but the 
difference between maximum and minimum values was found to be 
small in nearly every instance. The use of the necessarily cumber- 
some formulas was therefore discarded in favor of one which repre- 
sents a probable average scale-forming value. Calculations based 
upon this formula are relatively simple, and it is believed that they 
are of as great practical value as the maximum and minimum formu- 
las. In order to conform to common usage the formula is in terms of 
pounds of scale per 1,000 gallons of water. 

(10) Scale (Sc) 
= .00833 Sm + .00833Cm + .3rFe + .142 rAl + .168 rMg + .492 rCa 
= .00833 Sm + . 00833 Cm + .0107 Fe + .0157 A1 + .0138 Mg+ .0246 Ca 
In this formula the value of rCa used should not be in excess of rC0 3 + 
rHC0 3 + rS0 4 . (Ca should not exceed .668C0 3 + .328HC0 3 + .417S0 4 ). 

Formula (10) shows the amount of scale and sludge likely to be depos- 
ited in a boiler operated under the usual conditions of modern practice 



IRRIGATING WATERS. 177 

and its value will never differ widely from the " total incrusting 
matter" frequently reported from an estimation of hypothetical com- 
binations of radicles. It is of equal importance to know whether the 
matter deposited will form a hard scale. The following formula 
shows in pounds per 1,000 gallons the probable amount of hard-scale 
forming material in the scale: 

(11) Hard scale (Hs) 

= .00833 Si0 2 + .168rMg + .567 (rCl + rS0 4 - rNa - rK) 
= .00833 SiO 2 + .0138 Mg+ (.016 C1 + .0118 SO 4 -.0246 Na-.0145K) 
The value used for the parenthesis of this formula must not exceed 
rS0 4 or rCa (.0118SO 4 or .0283 Ca in the second form) nor should it 
be less than zero. 

Dividing the value of formula (11) by the value of formula (10), a 
factor will be obtained which may be called the coefficient of scale 
hardness. This factor shows the proportion of the total scale that 
is likely to form a cement-like substance upon the boiler tubes and 
is therefore an index to the probable hardness of the scale that will 
be deposited. Thus: 

. Hs 

(12) Coefficient of scale hardness, h = -o- 

From formulas 10, 11, and 12, waters may be- classed as follows: 

(1) Soft scale: h not more than .25. 

(2) Medium scale: h more than .25 but not more than .5. 

(3) Hard scale: h more than .5. 

In addition, the following classification may be used as a prefix 
to the preceding: 

(1) Very little: Sc not more than 1. 

(2) Little: Sc more than 1, but not more than 2. 

(3) Much: Sc more than 2, but not more than 4. 

(4) Very much: Sc more than 4. 

IRRIGATING WATERS. 

An excess of alkali in the soil is detrimental to the growth of crops, 
and waters used in irrigation may seriously impair the fertility of 
land by augmenting its alkali content. Land would probably I>e 
injured by the best of natural waters if irrigated with them for a 
long period of time without natural or artificial drainage, for all 
irrigating waters contain alkali, and evaporation in and from the 
soil would result in a gradual accumulation of toxic salts. In order 
that waters may readily be compared with respect to their suit- 
ability for irrigation, a simple index of their irrigating value should 
be available. The calculation of such an index, designated the 
"alkali coefficient," is developed in the following paragraphs. The 
alkali coefficient is a purely arbitrary quantity intended solely to 
81210°— wsp 274—11 12 



178 THE INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION OF WATER ANALYSES. 

facilitate the comparison of waters to be used for irrigation. It may 
be defined as the depth in inches of water which, on evaporation, 
would yield sufficient alkali to render a 4-foot depth of soil injurious 
to the most sensitive crops. Thus, if the alkali coefficient of a water 
is found to be 17, 17 inches in depth of that water contains suffi- 
cient alkali to render injurious to sensitive crops the soil on which it 
is applied. Whether injury would actually result from the appli- 
cation of such a water to any particular piece of land, however, 
depends on methods of irrigating, the crops grown, the character of 
the soil, and drainage conditions, and it should be clearly under- 
stood that the alkali coefficient in no way takes account of such 
conditions. 

Hilgard a quotes results of investigations by R. H. Loughridge 
showing the greatest amount of various alkali compounds found in 
soils in which crops were not injured. About forty common cultures 
were included in the tables, and great diversity is indicated for the 
relative toxicity of the compounds toward the different cultures. 
The mean results for several cultures of about the same degree of 
sensitiveness, however, indicate with marked uniformity the rela- 
tive toxicity of the alkalies toward common cultures to be about as 
follows: Sodium as Na 2 C0 3 , 10; b sodium as NaCl, 5; sodium as 
Na 2 S0 4 , 1. The investigations indicate further that about 1,500 
pounds per acre of sodium with a relative toxicity of 1 (as above) 
in 4 feet depth of soil is barely sufficient to affect injuriously the 
more sensitive common crops. The foregoing conclusions, being in 
accord with the results of other investigations, will be used as a 
basis for the calculation of the alkali coefficient, which may be made 
from a water analysis by means of the following formulas: 

(13a) When rNa — rCl or Na — .65 CI is zero or negative, 

An v « • + i 288 2040 
Alkali coefficient, k = ^ = ~, 

(13o) When rNa — rCl or Na — .65 CI is positive but not greater than 
rS0 4 or .48 S0 4 , 

ah r «s • 4. 1 288 6620 

Alkah coefficient, k = rNa + 4rC r Na + 2 . 6C i 

(13c) When rNa-rCl-rS0 4 or Na-.65 CI -.48 S0 4 is positive, 

288 662 

Alkali coefficient, k = 10rNa _ 5rC l _ 9rS0 4 = Na^T32 CI - .43 S0 4 . 

In the foregoing formulas, the sodium and potassium value re- 
ported in many analyses may be used for Na; in the absence of a 

a Hilgard, E. W., Soils, p. 467, 1906. 

fe The tables indicate a relative toxicity of about 6, but on account of the puddling effect of sodium car- 
bonate on soils and the fact that the investigations did not distinguish between bicarbonate and carbonate 
of sodium, the value 10 is believed to be more satisfactory. 



IRRIGATING WATERS.

sodium or a sodium and potassium determination, Na may be esti- 
mated from the equations 

Na = .41 HC0 3 -.83 C0 3 -.71 CI -.52 S0 4 -(1.25 Ca + 2.06 Mg) 
rNa=1.10 [rHC0 3 + rC0 3 + rCl + rS0 4 - (rCa + rMg)] 

which for safety give a value about 10 per cent greater than the theo- 
retical; and in the absence of calcium and magnesium determinations, 
the foregoing equations may be used if the parenthetical expression 
be replaced by one-half the total hardness (as CaC0 3 ) or its equiva- 
lent reacting value. 

Formula (13a) is applicable to waters that contain more chlorine 
radicle than is sufficient to combine with the sodium present, and 
involves the assumption that the other basic radicles required to 
hold the chlorine radicle in solution are as injurious as if replaced 
by their equivalent reacting value of sodium. The other formulas 
neglect possible injurious effects of basic radicles other than sodium. 
These assumptions, as applied to normal waters, are sufficiently 
accurate for practical purposes, though their application to soils might 
lead to serious errors. 

Waters to which formulas (13a) and (13o) are applicable can not 
be improved by chemical treatment, but are likely to produce only 
" white alkali" in the soil. Waters to which formula (13c) is appli- 
cable are likely to produce u black alkali" in the soil and can be im- 
proved to the alkali coefficient calculated from formula (136) by the 
use of gypsum or "land plaster." 

In general, injurious results from the use of a water for irrigation 
depend largely on drainage conditions and soil texture. Waters with 
low alkali coefficients may be used successfully on a loose soil with 
free drainage. The following approximate classification, which is 
based on ordinary irrigation practice in the United States, indicates 
in a very general way the customary limitations in the use of waters 
having various alkali coefficients :

Analyses B and D seem to be somewhat in error. The errors indicated could be accounted for by the 
presence of iron and aluminum radicle in the one case and by silicate radicle in the other. The differences 
are not great enough, however, to warrant a change in the form of statement. Hence iron, aluminum, and 
silicon are presumed to be present as oxides in the colloidal state. 

The following boiler classification of the waters (including a verbal 
and a numerical classification) will result from the foregoing figures: 

(A) (15) Nonfoaming, ( — 0.44 + 0.11) semicorrosive, (0.59) very 
little, (0.20) soft scale. 

(B) (21) Nonfoaming, ( + 0.42 + 1.23) corrosive, (1.51) little, (0.37) 
medium scale. 

(C) (130) Semifoaming, (-1.58 + 1.63) semicorrosive, (1.84) little, 
(0.46) medium scale. 

(D) (30) Nonfoaming, (-0.49-0.08) noncorrosive, (0.46) very 
little, (0.25) soft scale. 



APPLICATIONS. 181 

(E) (1057) Foaming, (-9.69-8.28) noncorrosive, (0.94) very 
little, (0.23) soft scale. 

The effect of suspended matter upon the scale classification of B 
is of interest. Neglecting the suspended matter, the class would be 
"very little hard scale." 

For use in irrigation, E would be classed as poor and the others as 
good. 

For detailed comparison or classification of waters, the formulas 
presented will be found of great value. It is believed that a better 
general understanding of waters and much practical advantage would 
result if the analyst were to devote to the foregoing calculations and 
the resulting classification a portion of the time usually spent in 
figuring hypothetical combinations. 

For those who desire to use the formulas the following notes are of 
special interest: 

(a) The reacting values are necessary only in estimating the error 
of analyses. Other formulas are presented in dual form so that 
reacting values may be used or not, as desired. Generally their use 
will shorten the work of calculation. 

(b) The formulas are well adapted to the use of a slide rule or similar 
calculating machine. They are for use primarily in connection with 
analyses expressed in parts per million or milligrams per liter, but can 
be used for analyses expressed otherwise if such analyses are re- 
duced to parts per million by multiplying by the proper factors, as 
follows : 

Parts per hundred thousand — 10. 
Grains per U. S. gallon — 17.1. 
Grains per imperial gallon — 14.3. 
Pounds per thousand U. S. gallons — 120. 
Pounds per thousand imperial gallons — 100. 

Per cent of dissolved solids — total dissolved solids in parts per million or milligrams 
per liter. 

(c) The numerical coefficients used in the formulas are the result 
of the simple mathematical calculations of chemistry. Thus the 
coefficient 0.26 of formula (5) is derived as follows: It is desired to 
find the quantity of lime (CaO) that will react with certain substances. 
The reacting value of this lime must, of course, equal the sum of the 
reacting values of the substances with which it is to react. The 
parenthesis of the formula represents this reacting value. The react- 
ing coefficient of CaO being 9 ^ nF - ? our reacting value for lime must 

be multiplied by 28.05 to give parts per million of CaO. This must 
in turn be divided by 120 to give pounds per 1,000 gallons. A final 
division by .90 reduced the expression to terms of lime of 90 per cent 

purity. Thus 28.05 XtoaX-^ = 0.26. Other numerical coefficients 

of the formulas are derived in a similar manner.
